Will the footplate damage the vinyl flooring in our rented apartment?

I have tile flooring and there was no damage to it. Because of the footplate is made a of a heavy plastic material, I think you will be fine. Also, the footplate can be raised and placed out of the way if necessary. I purchased this product for my visiting mother-in-law. She was with us for three months and this product made all the difference in the world for her.

I do not think so, it hasnt damaged my moms vinyl flooring in the year plus she has had it.

I don't see how it could possibly do any damage. I see no damage on my vinyl flooring at all.

Not really. yes if the floor is flat but not level. If there are bumps or swalls no.

I can't answer directly because my bathroom is new and even, but I have noticed that it is important to be sure the feet are not in a grouted crack.

We have not experienced any issues of this, it is possible that it could scratch the floor just like with any metal material.

I can't say...I'm sorry , I only used it on wood floors. Sorta work.. not great but not horrible either. No sure on vinyl..

I don't think so....if I were you I would get the one that is for laminate and not take any chances of ruining your floor.

I never wear them inside. I would be afraid of damaging flooring(wood or vinyl). I just put on when I get outside

If it's a covered balcony I would say yes but if it will be subject to rain and snow the only problem would be the pads getting soaked. All the parts are powder coated so rust will not be an issue hope that helps but. I keep mine indoors

it ruined my floor too. Use vinegar and water. and believe it or not, a credit card to scrape up the crap. It will take time, but my floor is saved.

I put the tiles down on hard dirt under a canopy. I walk on it barefoot all the time and it is fine. I would not want to crawl on it myself, so I wouldn't let a baby crawl on it

I wouldn't recommend it, while it's low to the ground, heat does still rise - you'll likely get a hole in the vinyl over time.

I have not had any issues. The rubberized feet rested nicely and there was no sliding or slippage on the floor.

Depends If its on carpet or bare flooring. Carpet I would say no but bare flooring probably.

Mine has a plastic plate. No problems scratching wood on any floors I have installed.

Yes but you will want to get felt or plastic covers to put in the bottoms so that it won't scratch your flooring.

I would not do that as you have grout joints that would cause the vinyl to crack.

I don' know twhy the reader is asking again, when the answer to the question has been provided, that the treadmill will damage flooring. The mat is cheap in comparison to having new flooring installed.
